It's much better written and deeper than typical chick-lit, despite the frothy looking pastel cover to the book. With characters of all ages, it would probably appeal to most women, and perhaps even some men. It reminded me somewhat of the novels by Libby Purves, which also manage to combine a good story with some very thought-provoking issues.
Definitely recommended. If you like this, you might also like [[The Crowded Bed by Mary Cavanagh]], [[Keep Me Posted by Lisa Beazley]] or [[Blue Slipper Bay by Wendy K Harris]].
Many thanks to the author for sending the book.
